In addition to programs sponsored by divisions, round tables and committees, this year's Annual Conference features 10 "Grassroots Programs" selected by a jury of library school students and practitioners from 118 proposals.

These Grassroots Programs are part of ALA president Jim Rettig's presidential initiative to increase opportunities for members to participate in, contribute to and benefit from their association. The purpose of this initiative has been to broaden opportunities for ALA members to present programs at the Annual Conference and to compress the planning schedule to accommodate programs on very current issues.
